(CNN) — Tensions boiled over inside a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Thursday, the latest sign of chaos and division as they struggle to elect a new speaker following Kevin McCarthy’s historic ouster. Rep. Jim Jordan, lacking the votes to become speaker, is poised to pivot strategy by backing a plan to expand the power of the interim speaker for the rest of the year, a move that is already triggering a backlash from some members of his party. The GOP conference meeting turned heated, multiple sources told CNN, with some members railing against Jordan and one swearing at GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who led the rebellion against McCarthy. At one point, Gaetz was told to sit down by McCarthy and refused to sit down, then Rep. Mike Bost “got all emotional and ugly and was cussing him” and “telling him it’s all his fault,” one member said. Other Republicans, including some who supported Jordan, railed against him for backing the resolution ...How the Big Ten and SEC media deals cleared a path for more Pac-12 broadcasts on ESPN and ABC

As an epic Pac-12 football season hurtles toward its conclusion, numerous unknowns remain about the logistics of the stretch-run showdowns.Will Fox and ESPN use all four of the six-day selection options in November, thereby making travel plans difficult for fans?Will the rivalry games in cold-weather locations be played at night?How will the networks handle the mammoth Nov. 11 doubleheader in the Pacific Northwest, when USC visits Oregon and Utah heads to Washington?One broadcast matter seemingly has clarity:The Pac-12 will play more games than usual on ABC and ESPN thanks to a gap year in broadcast agreements for Disney-owned networks.For the massive exposure opportunity, the Pac-12 can thank the conference that delivered the realignment death blow: the Big Ten.The SEC is also involved, although not as directly.Let’s explain.Three years ago, the SEC agreed to sell its ‘Game of the Week’ package to ESPN, ending a long-term relationship with CBS.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Hot weather is in the forecast, with Heat Advisories in effect for much of the Bay Area today, according to the National Weather Service. Even though the calendar is approaching Halloween, temperatures will be hot and possibly even record-breaking on Thursday. Spare the Air Alert issued for Thursday While parts of the Bay Area began to feel the heat Wednesday, the highest temps are expected for Thursday."It may be October but here in the Bay Area, it will feel more like summer," explained KRON4 Meteorologist Kyla Grogan. "The reason for the warm-up is a dome of high pressure that is parked directly over us." Graphic: Kyla Grogan"The high pressure will intensify through Thursday, which will be our hottest day where the coast could see upwards of 80 degrees and even San Francisco will be flirting with upper 80s," said Grogan. An active Heat Advisory Thursday is affecting the South Bay, North Bay valleys, the East Bay, and the Peninsula, including t...Earthquake alert system confuses people for 2nd day in a row

(BCN) -- A statewide drill involving an early warning earthquake alert system popped off on people's cellphones seven hours earlier than planned and led to some early morning confusion early Thursday. The ShakeAlert system is operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and is designed to detect earthquakes and estimate their locations, magnitudes and shaking intensities. As part of the planned Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill, the ShakeAlert system was supposed to push notifications to people's cellphones at 10:19 a.m. but instead issued an alert at 3:19 a.m. The early-morning snafu was the apparent result of some kind of time-zone mix-up, USGS officials announced on social media. Bay Area Heat Advisory begins, high surf expected "You might have gotten a test alert from the @MyShakeApp early today," USGS officials said. "We acknowledge that no one wants to get a test message this early and we are working with our #ShakeAlert technical partner to determine what happened."It wa...Stock market today: Wall Street falls after 10-year yield climbs to the cusp of 5%

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is falling Thursday as it faces the prospect of a 5% yield on the 10-year Treasury for the first time since 2007. The S&P 500 was 0.7% lower in late trading following a mixed set of profit reports from Tesla and other influential companies The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 178 points, or 0.5%, as of 3:05 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.5% lower. Stocks were feeling pressure from the bond market, where rising yields have been squeezing Wall Street since the summer. The yield on the 10-year Treasury touched 4.99% for the first time since 2007, up from 4.91% late Wednesday, before paring its gain to 4.97%. As the reference point for much of the financial world, the 10-year yield helps set prices for all kinds of investments and loans. Yields swung after the Federal Reserve’s chair said again that the central bank will watch how the economy and inflation trend before making upcoming decisions on interest rates.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chargers and the Chiefs have been predictably good on offense this season, at least statistically, which means in the complementary world of the NFL, the difference in their records probably resides on the opposite side of the ball.The Chargers are 2-3 largely because they allow more yards than all but one team in the league.The Chiefs are 5-1 thanks to a defense that allows fewer points than all but one.“Yeah, that helps a ton, especially when you don’t play your best ball,” said Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has been openly critical of his own play heading into Sunday’s game between the AFC West rivals at Arrowhead Stadium.“Our defense is holding it down for us right now, but let’s take the pressure off them so they can play free and be even better.”Imagine that: The Chiefs are tied for the best record in the NFL with an offense Mahomes thinks has yet to hit its stride.Still, the Chiefs are second in yards passing, fourth in ...Browns QB Deshaun Watson practices after missing 2 games with a shoulder injury; could face Colts

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson tested his injured right shoulder in practice for the first time in nearly weeks on Thursday, moving him closer to starting this week after he missed two games.Watson has been dealing with a strained rotator cuff, an injury that has prevented him from throwing with much velocity.The three-time Pro Bowler couldn’t put any timetable on his return Wednesday, but Watson was back on the field with his teammates for the first time since Sept. 29 as the Browns (3-2) continued to get ready for the Colts (3-3).As coach Kevin Stefanski and coordinator Alex Van Pelt watched, Watson threw roughly two dozen passes during the portion of practice open to media members. He threw the ball with some zip, but seemed to hold back on deep throws.Several of Watson’s passes were underthrown.It’s possible Stefanski could announce Friday whether Watson will play this week. If he can’t go, veteran P.J. Walker will make his...Latest news
